Composting Toilet
Abstract
The aim of the project is to test two basic types of compost
latrines and two improved type pit latrines under normal
working conditions in Tanzania.
The types being tested are:
a. Continuous type composting latrine (modified Clivus
Multrum)
b. Double vault latrine
c. R.O.E.C. latrine (odourless ventilated pit latrine )
d. Ventilated pit latrine
Types and variants are shown in the attached sketch prepared
by Mr. Winblad.
The 15 latrines to be tested have been installed in:
(i) the Manzese area of Dar-es-Salaam
(ii) two villages in the coastal region
(iii) a village in the Morogoro area
All latrines have been built and are in operation.
As this is the first project where the continous type
compo3ting latrine is tested under tropical conditions,
a large number (8)of this type has been installed in each
of the four locations. H.R.D.U. is particularly interested
in the performance of this type and the discussions with
Messrs. Winblad and Simbeye concentrated mainly on this type..............................................................................
